      No ODBC Drivers available for Excel or Access in Windows 7 ?!

      Applies To: Office | Office 2007 | Microsoft Office Excel | Windows 7

      No ODBC Drivers available for Excel or Access! Even after a complete new installation of Windows 7 and Office 2003 professional or Office 2007 professional on another computer. When I want to add a driver in the ODBC Data Source Administrator, the response is: "To install new drivers use the driver's setup program!"

      In the ODBC Data Source Administrators Windows only the SQL-Native Client and SQL-Server, from Microsoft shows to be installed!

      How to install these ODBC Drivers or how to go about it? Thanks a lot for your responses!

      Office setup can be run again from the "Change" item when you highlight the Office listing in Control Panel/Programs and Features. You run the ODBC setup files there by choosing to install that feature.

      Are you running Win7 64bit? If so, launch c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcsys32.exe and see if the drivers are there. I don't know why they are there on my system and not in the ODBC administrator in the Control Panel. Very irritating.
